New budget plan calls for United States to decrease size of military
Yesterday, while outlining the military budget for 2015, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced plans for the United States to decrease the size of the active duty army to its lowest levels in the post-World War II era. Under the proposed budget plan, the Army would decline to about 440,000 troops by 2019, down from a 2011 high of 566,000.
According to Hagel, the move makes sense given that the U.S. military is not likely to be waging "troop-intensive nation-building operations" anytime in the near future. Especially after the costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military has faced increasing pressure to downsize. It's not a secret that the United States—with a 2013 military budget of more than $600 billion—spends more on its military than close to the next 14 countries combined. (This graphic from the BBC is a nice visual representation.)
Military spending is frequently cited when budget talks come up, often juxtaposed with cuts to safety net programs. Balancing the budget is a tricky act, and for each person saying we're balancing our budget on the backs of the poor, there's another saying we can't balance it on the backs of "those who have sacrificed the most."
While the downsizing is the result of belt tightening, there's at least some acknowledgement that our current military makeup is not sustainable. During John Dear's recent split from the Jesuits, purportedly about his attempts at working for peace, he said: "I think the nonviolent Jesus wants us -- all of us -- to work as best we can in these critical times for the abolition of war, poverty, nuclear weapons, and catastrophic climate change so God's reign of peace will spread." Though the United States isn't trying to abolish war or paint itself as a nation of peacebuilders, it could at least be a (even if unintentional) step in the direction of peace.

Latest news for herbal vigor
Average Rating: 5 out of 5 based on 173 user reviews.
I'm researching IVR and PBX solutions for the customer support group at my [herbal vigor] company (software startup, currently <20 total employees). They key features that I need are: 1) Off-hours call forwarding (to our off-peak support provider) 2) ACD functionality (for queuing and routing as support group grows) 3) Toll-free number 4) Voicemail I've looked at a herbal vigor number of different hosted PBX and virtual call center solutions (GotVMail, RingCentral herbal vigor, VirtualPBX, Angel. com) and so far VirtualPBX seems to have the most features at a reasonable per minute rate (roughly $. Herbal vigor 05/minute), as well as capability to scale with our growing company. Any additional input would be appreciated. Max S.Out of that list you mentioned, both RingCentral and VirtualPBX are great companies and can meet your needs. They are the only two that offer true ACD Queuing.

Like most Americans, I still remember my first vote in a presidential election. I think I won't mention the candidates, though rest assured Warren G. Harding was not one of them. Much time and many votes have passed since then, but the memory remains vivid for several reasons. The vote meant that I had reached the age—21 in those bygone days—when I could legally claim my place in the world of adults. It meant, too, that I was not just reading in textbooks about democracy but was actually taking part in its most sacred ritual. That first vote was high on the list of growing-up thrills, right up there with getting my driver's license and having my first legal drink (a manhattan in Manhattan).
What made the moment particularly memorable, too, was the booth into which I stepped to exercise my right and responsibility. Here's how it went: once inside, I moved a large lever to close a curtain. The action of that lever unlocked a bank of smaller levers, one next to each candidate. After pushing those levers to cast my votes, I returned the large lever back to its original position, the curtain opened, and I stepped out and smiled at my fellow voters waiting their turns—briefly a public figure proud of my private act of citizenship.
Throughout much of this country's post-Revolutionary history, writers and politicians have invoked the ballot as a symbol of a right fundamental to our democracy. Now, as the nation moves (inexorably, it seems) toward the day when a touch-screen, virtual ballot will replace real ones everywhere, it seems appropriate to pay homage to another powerful symbol of our right to make our voices heard. Occupying pride of place among the artifacts in a current exhibition at the National Museum of American History, "Vote: The Machinery of Democracy," is an 1890s prototype of the classic gear-and-lever booths in which I and many Americans cast their votes. Not quite a historic relic—machines of this kind are still used in this country—it nevertheless evokes an earlier time, a substantial embodiment of the virtue of the vote, with nothing virtual about it.
As far back as the mid-19th century, political reformers sought to make voting more systematic (and, they hoped, more honest). In the late 1890s, New York inventor Alfred J. Gillespie devised a gear-and-lever machine (derived from earlier patents by Jacob H. Meyers) that offered privacy while limiting one man to one vote. (Women were denied the vote until 1920.) The advantages of Gillespie's machine over the ballot box were many, including that it kept a running count, thus speeding up the reporting of results. The machines also could be locked by officials when voting was over, preventing—or at least reducing—tampering. This extraordinary new device wowed the voters in an 1898 town election in Rochester, New York. As the Brooklyn Eagle reported: "Where other cities were hours and even days in counting their votes, Rochester knew the complete result in the city on every office—State, County, Assembly, Senate and Congressional—in just thirty-seven minutes. There was not a mistake, not a hitch."
Gillespie's glorious gizmo, which cost $550 in 1898—equivalent to $11,600 today—was manufactured well into the 1960s, even as other systems proliferated, notably the punch-card method that introduced the term "hanging chad" into the national vocabulary.
But the booths were not embraced universally. Lawsuits filed in various states over the years claim that voting by lever does not constitute the "vote by ballot" guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Most jurists have held that the machines are indeed a form of paper ballot and that the secrecy the paper ballot was intended to ensure is not compromised by lever technology.
Larry Bird, curator of the NMAH exhibition, says the timing of the show is significant. "We did one in 1972, prompted by passage of the 23rd Amendment, which lowered the voting age. After the situation in Florida in the last presidential election, we wanted to tell the story again, but this time it made sense to put the machines in the foreground." One of them, the gear-and-lever machine, came to the Smithsonian in the early 1960s, a gift of the Rockwell Manufacturing Company in Jamestown, New York.
In an age of relentless obsolescence, it's a rare device that continues to give good service after a century. (If there were a museum of sheer pluck, Mr. Gillespie's invention would certainly deserve a place in its permanent collection.) But we live in an age of diminution, when smaller is often better (except, it seems, in SUVs). "The old gear-and-lever machines are built like bank vaults," Bird points out, "and weigh about as much." The expense of moving, storing and maintaining them made the machines increasingly unpopular with budget-squeezing officials. When the very portable Votomatic device—a lightweight machine, its ballot keyed to a punch card—became available, the curtained booth's days were numbered. Manufacturers stopped making spare parts in the mid-1980s.
Though it's hard to argue with bottom-line reality, loss always accompanies gain. "There's a physicality to the lever-action booth," says Bird. "When you cast your vote that way, you really feel you've done something."

1. Wear white eye liner solo and create a gorgeous cat eye.
Don't be afraid to wear white liner by itself — you're a confident beauty-obsessed girl that can totally pull it off! Just trace your upper lid with a white pencil and flick the pencil toward the outer corner of your eye, like you're drawing a check mark. If you're a newbie at creating the winged look, hold a business card at an angle at the outer corner of your eye and use the straight edge of the card as a guide.
2. Double up your liners: first apply a black liquid liner along your upper lash line, and then add a shimmery white pencil over top.
This chic pop of white gives the effect of a shimmery champagne eye shadow, when really it's just a glimmering white pencil. Eye magic, in other words.
3. Line your bottom lid in white, top lid in black.
Create two sixties-inspired cat eyes by first lining your upper lash line in black, and then reaching for a white eye liner to mirror the same shape on the bottom.
4. Go for the white-black-white-black effect by layering on your eye liner in that order.
Kourtney Kardashian used black eye liner to trace her upper lash line, and then topped it with a white pencil. Then, along her lower lid's waterline, she traced a white pencil that was then layered underneath with black liner.
5. Trace your entire eye and then draw a straight line right at the outer of your lower lid.
Okay, so this might not be your everyday look, but it's a cool way to wear white eye liner if you're a brave, I'll-try-anything-when-it-comes-to-makeup kind of woman. All you need is a white khol pencil, like this one from Make Up For Ever, to pull it off.
6. Wing out your white eye liner and and trace the inner corner of your eye for added oomph.
To recreate this look, trace a white pencil over your upper lid — like you would a normal black cat eye — and then extend the line over the inner corner of your eye. Next, smudge the liner over the inner part of your eye with your ring finger (the weakest of all fingers) to give it a more diffused appearance.
7. Brighten up the inner corners of your eyes only.
If you're thinking to yourself, "this trend is kind of cray, but I want in on it anyway," try tracing the inner "V" corner of your eyes. White eye liner while staying in your cosmetic comfort zone.
8. Weave white eye liner in between two shades for a triple-threat effect, like Katy Perry's.
The "Roar" singer might be one of the few who can actually pull off this graphic 60s-inspired look, but why not be bold and give it a go? Basically what you're doing is creating three cat eye looks, using a black liquid liner along the upper lid, a white liquid liner in the middle, and then a colored liquid liner to top it all off.
9. Line your eyes with white eye liner, smudge it out over your entire lid, and then retrace your upper lash line for a standout cat eye.
Boom. Beautiful.
10. Apply the tiniest bit of white shimmer pencil over the inner corner of your eyes, like Blake Lively did here.
If you don't want to go balls to the wall with white eye liner in the inner corner of your eyes, trace the tiniest bit over the inner "V" and smudge it out with your ring fingertip to give that look of glimmer and freshness to your gaze.
11. Mix a metallic cream shadow in with your white liner look.
Metallic cream shadow is a must for fall and white eye liner is welcome every single season, so why not combine the two together for a fierce eye look? Apply the cream shadow to your upper lid and below your lash line, and then line your lower waterline with white pencil.
12. Focus on the inner corner of your eye to give the appearance of bigger, more gorgeous eyes.
White eye liner opens up your eyes, whereas black eye liner can sometimes close them off. So accentuating the inner corner of your eye with white eye liner can help give the illusion of an elongated, big, beautiful eyes. That said, if the above look is too harsh for you, smudge it out a bit.
13. Line your lower waterline to instantly minimize the look of any redness in your eyes.
Clearly Scarlett Johannson is a fan of this trick and I can see why: with her busy schedule there's no way you can look wide awake 24/7. But with a swipe of white liner on the lower inner rim you can totally fake it.
14. Cover the lower half of your upper lid with white liner for a cool-girl effect.
This look is so mod, I'm obsessed. To recreate it, make a very thick line on the lower half of your upper lid using white liquid liner—so from your lashline mid-way to the crease. That way when you open your eyes you can still see the pop of white, but it doesn't overtake your entire upper eye lid.
15. Line your upper lash line, and then blend it in up to the crease of your eye.
I love the ethereal fairy finish that blending white eye liner into your upper lid gives. It's soft enough for anyone to wear.
16. Go for 360 degrees of white shimmer eye liner realness.
If you have the beauty balls that Rihanna has, then good for you! The singer lined her inner upper and lower waterlines with black eye liner, and then traced her eyes along her lash lines with a white shimmer pencil. This result? This icy effect that's absolutely gorgeous.
17. If the white eye liner trend scares the shit out of you, go for a subtle swipe of champagne-colored liquid eye liner.
Not every trend (like white eye liner) is for everyone, but that doesn't mean you can't get involved. If a white cat eye is too intense for your taste, pick up an icy white, sheer cream eye liner and swipe that on instead.
18. Softly line your lower lid with a white-ish nude pencil and diffuse it with a blending eye shadow brush. Then, swirl the same brush over your liner's tip and apply it to the inner corner of your eye and above your winged black eye liner.
Lauren Conrad told me recently that she uses this tip as her go-to hangover trick because the white-ish nude hue perks up your eyes instantly.
19. Line your upper eye with a shimmery white liner, and then create a soft swoosh on the outer corner of your eye to get this dreamy effect.
Optional: Trace the inner "V" corner of your eye to really take your look to the next level.
20. Jazz up your lower lid by dabbing your finger into a pot of champagne-colored cream liner, and then swiping it along your lower lash line.
Applying a sheer white wash along your lower lash line creates a spotlight that casts the focus instantly onto your eyes. Um, yes. Sign. Us. Up.
See, white eye liner is the new black. Now, get to lining those gorgeous eyes of yours!

You wouldn't believe how many times i've seen this code
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table1 WHERE ... ) > 0
It's understandable though. Logically it's the easiest way to write "if there are any rows matching my condition do this".
But it's also wrong. Plainly and simplly wrong!
Because when you do a count(*) there is no way to get around an index range scan or a full table scan. For a large resultset this will be a huge resource hog.
So how do i do this you might ask yourself?
Very simple: Use EXISTS!
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE ...)
Exists stops the execution as soon as it reads the first row, compared to Count which goes through the whole resultset matching our condition.
This may seem as such a trivial tip but EXISTS is so underused even by experienced database developers.
And don't forget the NOT EXISTS to check if rows matching the condition don't exist.
SQL Server Product team recognised this problem so in SQL Server 2005 those 2 statements produce same execution plans whenever possible.
However relying on some internal "maybe when it suits me" operation is not good practice in my book.

Improved BAMs
This is a mod for Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale created by NiGHTMARE and Andyr that I have repackaged with a WeiDU installer.
A large number of the Baldur's Gate inventory graphics (BAMs) were improved for the sequel, so I decided to create this small pack that puts them back into the original. It will also work with Icewind Dale, as that re-uses many BG items.

The regular Niagara-Wheatfield Board of Education meeting on Aug. 1 saw a great deal of activity during the nearly three-hour session. Issues covered ranged from the progress of the capital improvement project overseen by Delbert Ambrosia, the district's director of facilities and operations, to financial issues such as budget cuts and layoffs. The two central issues voted on included the appointment of registered nurses versus licensed practical nurses and a policy for funding non-league sports games.
Following a lengthy executive session regarding a personnel matter, Ambrosia presented the board with a review of the district's capital improvement project and an update on its progress.
Ambrosia reviewed the changes being made to the district's sports complex, including new blacktop on the trails and rubberized surfaces on the tracks, as well as new concession stands, restroom facilities, storage, handicapped-accessible bleachers, and a press box. He then described technological updates, including the installation of a new district server, air conditioning, and increased power for technological needs.
He also presented a conceptual rendering of Colonial Village School's new project. Changes include moving the principal's office improved drop-off and pick-up areas for the children, which will "make the school safer" by allowing the principal better ability to monitor children.
Ambrosia concluded with target dates for each of the many projects, and said that "most of these dates center around making sure the school is safe at the beginning of the year." He assured the board members that "overall, we are in good shape" in terms of budget and completion dates.
Board members were enthusiastic, each thanking him for his dedication to the project. Board member Kathleen Fleming congratulated Ambrosia on his accomplishments, and said, "there aren't any more beautiful grounds on other local school districts."
In order to comply with New York state law, board members turned their attention to the school's policies in hiring nursing staff. Board members passed a resolution to ensure that the school district will only employ RNs for each building.
Board member Richard Sirianni expressed concerns about laying off a long-term LPN employee over less experienced employees. He argued, "I feel uncomfortable cutting an employee of 15 years over a four-year employee." Fellow board member Christopher Peters responded, "We can't talk about the individual situation ... we are talking about potential lawsuits. We need to be compliant with New York state laws."
When the motion was voted on, the motion passed five to two, with Sirianni and fellow board member Richard Halleen objecting.
Board of Education President Steve Sabo then raised a motion regarding the funding for district participation in non-league sports games. Sabo explained that "the board originally cut non-league games, but now booster clubs have come forward expressing interest in paying for (busing and referee) costs for these games. The problem is that we have no deadline for (payment)."
He and Peters agreed that it would "be a nightmare" if fundraising groups never reimburse the district.
At the suggestion the board might ban the games, girls' basketball Coach Diane Fegatilli and girls' booster club president Gina Terbot expressed shock. They already had scheduled games and assured the district they would fund the games no matter what.
"I'm willing to pay, fundraise, and come up with the money for my students," implored Fegatilli. Similarly, Terbot argued, "I'd give you the $350 check tonight for my students."
Sabo and other board members continued to discuss creating a policy that set clear payment deadlines. Ultimately, the board unanimously passed a compromise that Friday, Aug. 10, would be the deadline for non-league game payment.
In other matters, a motion to cut team leaders was approved 6-1. The rest of the personnel report was also passed unanimously.
Interim Superintendent James Knowles announced that school employees who retired during the past two years will be honored before the Board of Education meeting on Aug. 15 at 6:30 p.m.
The meeting marked the second appearances of Sabo after being re-elected as board president at last month's reorganization meeting, and Knowles.
Sabo cited his main goal for the year as "rebuilding the fund balance, and making sure the district can run more efficiently with less."
Knowles hopes to bring his many years of experience as both a tenured superintendent as well as his many interim positions to work with the district and board.
"This is not my first position as an interim superintendent," he said. "I did one at Iroquois Central Schools, then at the School of the Blind in Batavia and Warsaw. This is my fourth. I'm excited to be here. There's a lot of work to be done, and I have good people to work for."

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie says he feels in the best condition of his career ahead of the weekend clash with Steve Bruce's Sunderland.
The Dutch striker has scored five goals this season and has been one of the shining lights during an otherwise poor campaign for the Gunners.
Van Persie also became the fifth Arsenal player ever to net 100 goals for the club, while he has also been in fine form for Holland.
As Arsenal prepare to face Black Cats at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, the 28-year-old is feeling at peak fitness. And, after a career blighted by injury thus far, that can only be a good thing.
"I played 90 minutes in both international games, and I feel great," he told the Official Matchday Programme.
"I feel so fit these days, I recover well, don't have any pain, and feel really good.
"I'm enjoying it, playing all the games, doing all the training sessions.
"A couple of years ago, I had periods where I struggled to play two 90 minutes in a few days, but now I can do it, recover well, and for me it's the best feeling for years.
"I also love the fact that the international week is over on a Tuesday - it gives you an extra day, and with our game being on a Sunday, we have two extra days, so it should be like a normal week for us."

Oil rigging?
John McCain's bad press run continued today. With Obama's European invasion provoking rock star crowds, McCain tried to schedule a photo op on a Louisiana oil rig only to have Hurricane Dolly intervene. At least that's his campaign's story. According to the Guardian , what really put a stop to the photo op was an oil spill in the Mississippi. Not exactly the best way to draw attention to his plan to save America from foreign oil by planting new rigs along our coastline. After his shameless pandering to gas guzzlers in recent months and a breathtaking, beyond-chutzpah attempt to blame high gas prices on Obama, it's hard to feel sorry for the allegedly straight talking presidential candidate.
The Gulf was also in the news last week because of the predicted record-breaking size the the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," an area at the mouth of the Mississippi where fertilizer-fueled overgrowths of algae have been having a catastrophic impact on the Gulf's ecology and sealife.
According to Reuters: "The dead zone, which recurs each year off the Texas and Louisiana coasts, could stretch to more than 8,800 square miles this year--about the size of New Jersey--compared with 6,662
square miles in 2006 and nearly double the annual average since 1990 of
4,800 square miles."
The prediction of a large dead zone this summer is due to a
combination of large influx of nitrogen and exceptionally high flows
from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers.
NOAA explains the zone thus: The dead zone is an area in the Gulf of Mexico
where seasonal oxygen levels drop too low to support most life in
bottom and near-bottom waters. This low oxygen, or hypoxic, area is
primarily caused by high nutrient levels, which stimulates an
overgrowth of algae that sinks and decomposes. The decomposition
process in turn depletes dissolved oxygen in the water. The dead zone
is of particular concern because it threatens valuable commercial and
recreational Gulf fisheries.

Suspicious driver and car sighted in Conway
April 08. 2013 3:13PM
CONWAY - Police are urging motorists and citizens to be on the lookout for a suspicious driver in a red Honda Civic with New Jersey plates who reportedly approached school children in the area.
The driver is described as a 30-year-old man wearing a Red Sox cap, gray sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Gary MacDonald, SAU 72 superintendent in Fryeburg, Maine, sent a letter home to parents last Friday advising them the driver in the red Honda Civic approached elementary school-aged students in the Stow/Fryeburg Harbor, Maine, area.
Two incidents were reported; the license plate was covered with duct tape in the second incident.
Conway police said a vehicle and driver matching the description of the man and the Civic were seen Friday about noon at Doloff Pond.
Two men were reportedly inside the red car.
Police are reminding parents and guardians that school children should be supervised at stops until picked up by the the bus.
Anyone with information about the suspicious driver or who spots the vehicle and driver is asked to call police at 356-5715.

Post subject: Help with Convention art to sell! (artwork heavy post)
I have a table in artist alley at an upcoming local sci-fi con (called Sci-Fi on the rock
Anyways, since my webcomic is still a wee bady, I wont have any paper comics to sell. I will be giving out flyers for the webcomic, but I am also going to have some artwork prints to sell. Since it is a Sci-fi/Comic/Video game/Anime con, I figure my Mortal Kombat and Pokemon prints might sell a little, but I'd really like some opinions.
What I am going to have is:
20 11x17 posters of Kitana
20 11x17 posters of Mileena
20 8x10 prints of Fantina & Pokemon
20 8x10 prints of Cynthia & Pokemon
20 8x10 prints of Dawn in snow & Pokemon
10 8x10 prints of girl cant sleep b/c Pokemon
10 8x10 prints of 3 pokemon girls
10 8x10 prints of WWE divas vs TNA Knockouts
What I REALLY need is some honest opinions. Is there any images you think wont sell at all? Is there any that I should order more/less of? Should different images be bigger posters, or the MK ones smaller? Please dont mind telling me you hate an image. I am spending alot of $$ to get these printed, so I really need some kind of return. The images are below. Thanks so much, and be as brutal as possible. Im going to be putting in the order this week coming.

I know what you mean, but I'm not sure. Even Deviantart you have the option to sell prints of your work through them. And this is a small local con, I really can't see any kind of those reprocussions. I'll do a little research though. Thanks for bringing up that concern, I didn't really think of that.

People have already commented on the fanart aspect. I, personally, am most likely to buy fanart from others in artist's alley because I enjoy seeing their spin on another person's style BUT I've not been to a convention where the artists I follow have been present, otherwise, I would buy pieces of their original work to support their projects. Devart seems to mirror this trend: I and most others I know, get the most attention for fanart, even if the quality is ABYSMAL compared to original pieces UNLESS of course, the OC quality is simply phenomenal. And phenomenal, original OCs is what draws over curious onlookers.
Before I change topics, the rules at the convention are what matters. Some places are really cracking down on AA and not allowing any fanart at all, mainly the ones who are not hurting in regards to filling their table space. When you have a trademark, you are obligated to defend it if you want to keep that trademark which is why Disney looks like the big, bad wolf if they for example, discover a preschool has painted Mickey Mouse on its walls.
What this boils down to is you can probably get away with it without anyone caring but it's not a bad idea to work towards exclusively offering original creations (not including parodies, of course).
One more story before I offer my actual input: my ex had a decent webcomic that he ran for several years. He updated reliably and his art was always 'okay'. I don't think he reached a plateau in his actual capability but rather, he just didn't seem to have the drive to better his own presentation. I think it's foolish for any artist to settle, thinking they cannot get better, myself very much included. I attended a convention with him where he was one of the more advanced original illustrators (not flawless, just better than some of the other up-and-comers), in terms of the look, but his presentation was poor and that was reflected in the consumer interest. Now, to be fair, I'm not sure ANYONE who was only offering original stuff did very well that day but the fact remains that even in a sea of artists who needed to worry about practicing their art more than trying to sell it, he was ignored. While it's not like I was taking polls, part of it had to do with the fact that when people did walk over, he did not engage them. You HAVE to be gregarious! Some aspect was almost certainly the thought of 'This looks like someone who's still learning!' He seemed to pick up on that too as a short time later, he redid his character designs and started a newer version of the comic, which was much better quality.
People have been shying away from the critique aspect so here goes. . .
Your first two pieces are your strongest overall. In general, your coloring is your strongest asset in what you've shown. You've also had the good sense to include a link to your devart gallery so buyers can visit and see more (you'd be surprised how often that's forgotten). You have an interest in keeping with dynamic poses but this is where I feel your quality suffers. I get the impression that these are drawn from references, which is fine, but in translating these poses, I feel like a lack in understanding proportions takes away from the end result.
This is your best piece. I don't have any suggestions.
The only error that's catching my eye is the foreshortening on the left sai. Because it's hanging straight down, it looks as though the weight is considerable which gives the character a dainty, non-threatening look. The bent wrist on the right hand seems apprehensive-- I feel that just by straightening the wrist and having the character crouch, you could have a much more aggressive stance and really change the tone of this piece.
I love the flow of the fabric on the human as well as the shading on her outfit. The colors on this one are pleasing overall. The human's head, however, is a bit elongated and her left hand looks too small as a result. A hand should be capable of completely covering the human face. The right hand looks fine because of its implied distance from the character. I am not familiar with any pokémon beyond the original 151 but they look good! The only error I suspect is in the fierce- looking purple one. The mouth, eye and expression are AWESOME. The right horn placement, however, seems wrong. If that character were to face me, I would expect that horn to extend past the end of its nose where the left horn seems to stop just above its eyes.
Another cute piece. Very serene and once again, I like the attention to color detail. My only suggestions here are with the human's head. It's a bit too big; her eyes run parallel to the ground while her head is at more of an angle. The result is that her face is a bit lop-sided. An easy fix to lasso her eyes and tilt them with free-transform.
The Lady Rumble=)
This has the potential to be such a strong piece-- so many characters! I feel though that proportions and anatomy suffer in this piece. Hair styles and clothing are really their only distinguishing features. I used to recommend the bald test. If you shave a character bald and rely only on its face, can you tell it apart from the rest of the cast? Great manga artists get away with this: Rumiko Takahashi (Inu Yasha, Ranma), Akira Toriyama (Dr. Slump, Dragonball) , Kazuya Minekura (Saiyuki, Wild Adapter) , Wataru Yoshizumi (Marmalade Boy-- don't even get me started on their anatomy!), just to name a few. Perhaps it's a cultural thing but I always found this approach unsettling, if not a bit lazy. Sure, characters will look similar as we draw the same thing again and again but shouldn't your main cast at least be uniquely distinguishable? Perhaps I digress. My point is that their expression look almost pasted on-- they could be swapped amongst themselves without having to alter the rest of the face at all. This should not be possible and if it is, it should be somewhat alarming:
Other than that, it's a lot of little things. I should be able to see the legs of some of the ladies who are higher up on the page in the open spaces. Some of them are defying gravity: I made this mistake myself a few years ago (though there's plenty of other problems to be noted):
Some are larger, some are too small. The poor lady in the red bikini on the far right has an upper half that's too big for her lower half. The muscular lady on the left has teeny fingers and the cleavage in the middle does not match that actual er, boobage. I wish I could continue but I've already given you more than you want to read, I'm sure.
Another colorful, eye-pleaser. I love the twirly motion on her dress and the palette of pokémon fit nicely without clashing. My suggestion here is with the positioning of the arms. At the right arm's current angle, I should be able to see her forearm behind her hair. That arm seems to be more forward and should perhaps be pushed back with her forearm running parallel to the ground as her other one does.
Tired Girl:
Another cute lineup. Most distracting to me is the human's pose. One forearm is up while the other is down. This along with the position of the head and legs make me think she's doing some cross-body crunches. She doesn't appear to have any weight on the pillow, which might be intended but I would reconsider this position as far as showing that the critter snoring is keeping her awake. I feel this takes away from an otherwise detailed piece. Less notable are the hind legs of the little green fellow. His little hocked feet are positioned as though he had weight on them (standing or walking) rather than lying in a relaxed, sleeping position.
Three PokéGirls:
The butt on the left one looks great but the angle of her torso gives her a Liefeld-esque appearance. The bandanna should be a bit more in line with her skull, instead looking like it's perhaps a wrapped bowl that she has placed on her head. Misty looks good but I would suggest a bit of foreshortening on top of wrist so that she doesn't appear to be injuring her wrist. As for the last girl, her hat is sitting rather high but it is still believable. The bicep and shoulder on her left arm appear to have merged. Her face is a bit asymmetrical with her jaw angling to her right (I struggle with this one myself). I really like the outfits on all three girls, particularly the white t-shirt drawing attention to the left's hourglass figure, the suspender's tautness drawing attention to Misty's breast and the general composition of the third's particularly the tease of the skirt's placement and shadowing. I think the boys will eat this one up!
I think that you have a good mix and I hope you do well at the convention. Now, I've tried to be honest without being too overwhelming and you can tell me to go to hell without hurting my feelings but I think you have the potential to do much, much better with some practice. I would suggest working with some life-drawing and stylizing it as you get more comfortable producing realistic looking pieces as to me, it seems you're still in need of working out the foundation. To filch off of a critique featured in
, I don't look at these and think "Hey, Brad drew these!" It seems you're still trying to find your voice.

I was thinking about taking out the WWE vs TNA/ lady rumble, but it's the most popular piece I have on Devart, with 130,527 downloads and 233 favorites. For some reason people seem to like it so I figure it may sell.
I agree whole heatedly that an artist needs to keep evolving.
Thank you very very much for your feedback. It's detailed and insightful, and I appreciate you taking the time.

Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories

News of a returning summer festival at Porter on the Lake, finalizing a new park committee and complaints of a derelict property owner on Youngstown-Lockport Road were among issues discussed at Monday's Porter Town Board meting.
Jennifer Pauly, president of the Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce, visited and informed the board, "We'd like to return the Porter on the Lake festival." Pauly noted the event of past years was a summer community day-type affair held at the park, featuring bands, vendors and concessions. It was replaced last year by the Porter Founder's Day celebration.
Pauly said the chamber would like to hold the event on Saturday, June 29, with a rain date set for Sunday, June 30. "We would furnish the volunteers and use chamber resources to get the ball rolling with bands, entertainment and family activities," she said. "We think it would be great to bring it back."
Pauly told the board all proceeds from the chamber-funded affair would go improvements at the town park. The offer was met with immediate approval from the board.
Later, Town Councilman Jeff Baker posted on Facebook the event's return and commented, "We need help if anyone has time." For inquiries on volunteering or contributing to the event, contact Pauly at the chamber, 754-9500.
Other park news of note came from Councilman Larry White, who reported he is still seeking volunteers interested in working on the Porter on the Lake committee. The group that is now being formed would assist the town on directing park improvements, planning and activities. White is expected to serve as board liaison to the new group. For information on joining, contact White at 745-1176.
In other news from the session:
•Lake Road resident Rita Winko questioned the board on what could be done with a continuing junkyard problem on a neighboring property that's become an aggravation. "It's an ongoing situation; it needs to be resolved," said the resident. She told the board that accumulating junk and cars on the property has affected her ability to sell her property and said the town has been looking the other way.
That was met with discussion among board members, Town Attorney Mike Dowd and Town Building Inspector Roy Rogers on what could be done. Rogers said the owner has been in court previously and faced a fine of only $100 to $150, and the problem continues. Dowd suggested options, including having the owner cited again, taking court action, imposing heavier fines and having the town fully clean up the property and bill the owner. He informed the board of the procedure, which could also see a public hearing.
Town Councilman Tom Baia said the town "should do everything its power" to clean it up. "Let's go to work on this tomorrow morning."
The matter closed with Supervisor Mert Wiepert directing Rogers and Dowd to begin moving aggressively on the problem.

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Yum - Gruyere cheese in Au Gratin potatoes:-)...Nice tip on the chicken broth, too. I love using broth because it adds so much flavor to dishes and cuts back on some of the fat.
I need some potato recipes. I picked up two (10#) bags at Wal-Mart for $2.00 a bag. This looks delicious. I found your blog looking for American Test Kitchen Recipes. And I just bought the new Cook's Illustrated Cookbook. It is great!! Made the meatloaf out of it tonight. Have you bought it yet?
This looks delicious! I love yukon golds!
I'm looking forward to trying this... I love easy recipes that are also attractive enough for entertaining. Thanks!
This looks beyond delicious! Who can resist potatoes and melted cheese? :D
These look delicious. I absolutely love gruyere! And your duck from the previous post looks amazing! So succulent. I've been craving duck, but have so much trouble finding it. Going to have to check WF. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yum, looks delicious.
Those look amazing. And I love the idea of the chicken stock and a little paprika!
Who wouldn't love this? Still dreaming about your duck breasts...
Its just lovely.YUM
Thanks for sharing your secret to awesome potatoes Debbie. How I love gratin.
This is totally yummy recipe...I am loving it dear..Will try it soon..
Did you say potatoes and Gruyere? When's dinner?
Sometimes you just need some cheesy creamy ooey gooey stick to your soul potatoes. And when that happens...I'll so be making these! Comfort central!
I'm drooling over your duck breasts below with that gorgeous sauce...wow! Like you, I think I would have a hard time finding duck breast. Keeping my eye out during the holidays is probably the best bet.
Of course, the gratin looks amazing. Anything with gruyere is good in my book!
Yukon Golds are the best! This recipe looks delicious!
Well of course your family loves this - who wouldn't. I'd eat the whole casserole. the chicken stock idea is a good one that I'll have to try next time I make this - and gruyere is my favorite for this gratin too.
Our stomachs are growling just looking at those cheesy potatoes.
Hi Debby
When is the chicken stock incorporated into this dish. It is not mentioned in the instructions.
Jackie, thanks for bringing this to my attention. My step-by-step explains how I did it, but I forgot to include that with the printable recipe card. That's what happens when I try to convert my "little bit of this and little bit of that" way of making things, and then trying to write it down with measurements. All fixed!

If Tyler Courtney could win at any race track, the Knoxville Raceway would be the track he could win at.
The final tune up before the 360 Nationals at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night was going fine until the 410 A-Main, when it became a wreck fest. It started on the drop of the green when Austen Wheatly crashed on the front stretch, then Cole Wood flipped in turn one later on. After that, a scary multi car pileup a few laps later, and to round it off while going for the lead Ian Madsen and Brian Brown made contact in turn three and sent Brown hard into the wall. Brown was O-K, however Wood and Agan, who was involved in the multi car crash in the front stretch, were both taken to Knoxville Hospital and Clinics for observation. Ian Madsen went on to win the 410 feature while Justin Henderson won the 360 race.

Stanford University is no longer proposing to remove 33 parking spaces near its popular Dish Trail to make way for a new trail system connecting the mountains above Palo Alto to the Bay.
The about-face follows a letter Palo Alto Mayor Nancy Shepherd sent earlier this month to Larry Horton, a senior associate vice president in the university's Office of Public Affairs.
Shepherd said the city council approved "The Stanford and Palo Alto Trail Program: Connecting the Bay to the Ridge" with the understanding that back-in angle parking would be added to Stanford Avenue, between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Raimundo Way.
The back-in angle parking was intended to offset parallel parking being removed to build the new trail system, she noted.
Horton said the university replaced the back-in angle parking with parallel parking in response to safety concerns raised by Santa Clara County, which has final say over the $10 million program. As a result, 33 spaces were cut from Stanford Avenue, angering scores of Dish Trail users.
"This is not acceptable to Palo Alto," Shepherd wrote in her Feb. 13 letter. "This proposal eliminates too many parking spaces on Stanford Avenue."
Horton said the program has yet to be finalized and would be changed to include back-in angle parking.
"If both the city and Stanford jointly support back-in angle parking, I believe we will have an excellent chance of getting this program approved by the county," he wrote in a letter to Shepherd on Tuesday.
Horton said the university would still look to create additional parking on Coyote Hill Road. That's where it was planning to make up for the spaces lost to the change from back-in angle parking to parallel parking.
After construction of the new trail system and the addition of parking on Coyote Hill Road, there would be 91 spaces in the vicinity of the Dish Trail — 13 on Stanford Avenue east of Raimundo Way, 45 on the south side of Stanford Avenue, between Raimundo Way and Junipero Serra Boulevard, and 33 on Coyote Hill Road. That's a 25 percent increase, Horton said.

Adult Education & Literacy
DAEL Home | WIOA | National Activities | Facts and Figures

The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), required eligible state agencies to prepare 5-year state plans consistent with the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) Guide for the Development of a State Plan Under AEFLA.
To assist states in developing revisions to their plans, OCTAE reinstated its original Guide, which includes appropriate references to various sections of the AEFLA, Title II of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 or federal regulations. Submissions currently required need be only pertinent revisions, not full plans. In addition to new performance levels for the upcoming program year, for example, states receiving increases in their allotments would indicate what new state leadership activities they plan to undertake. States revising their funding formulas would outline these new formulas in their state plan revisions. These revisions are simply updated sections of the original plans. Revisions must meet requirements set for the original sections summarized in the guidance documents below.
Each year on December 31, OCTAE's State Plan Extension Guidance PDF (103K) is available for use in preparing State plan extensions due to OCTAE by close of business on April 1.

COLUMBIA - Not so long ago, losing a starting quarterback, top pass rusher and leading receiver meant two choices for South Carolina football fans.
Tap out, or wait for a murky rebuilding process.
But check out the garnet sunrise coming up from the (SEC) East.
South Carolina - despite losing by far its best-ever quarterback, an extremely hyped No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft and a reliable pass-catcher from Moncks Corner - is picked to fare better in the Southeastern Conference in 2014 than in 2013.
With Connor Shaw, Jadeveon Clowney and Bruce Ellington, the Gamecocks finished second in the SEC East. Without them, they are the division favorite.
Which makes formerly maligned South Carolina a playoff contender.
Such is the respect that comes with three straight 11-2 seasons, steady recruiting success and player development.
But there's more to it than that. South Carolina has potentially the best offensive line in school history and enough overall depth to allow for major strategy changes on offense and defense.
Head coach Steve Spurrier is cautious about "talking season," pointing out that summer predictions often look silly when it gets cold outside. He said he begged a prominent national media figure to pick Georgia to win the SEC East.
"But he went ahead and picked us anyway," Spurrier said Thursday at his annual media golf outing.
The Head Ball Coach is also confident enough in his roster to express surprise that the Gamecocks had zero players make the All-SEC first team in an SEC Media Days vote last week.
Except for strong safety Brison Williams on the third team, the Gamecocks were shut out on defense.
"We got one guy on three teams," Spurrier said. "We have to do a better job promoting these guys. (Linebacker) Skai Moore was the leading tackler and leading interceptor on the team and he didn't even make third team all-conference defense.
"Our guys can play some ball."
Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward thinks so, too. Minus Clowney and fellow defensive linemen Kelcy Quarles and Chaz Sutton and with more offenses picking up the pace, the Gamecocks must respond with added quickness.
Conveniently, they have the personnel to adjust.
"The strength of this defense is at linebacker," Ward said Thursday.
So expect more three-man fronts, Ward said, a departure from the 4-2-5 base alignment the Gamecocks have used since Ellis Johnson's days as defensive coordinator (2008-2011).
"Except against Georgia," Ward said. "Because of those running backs, we probably need four big guys up there."
Newness will be more obvious on offense.
Shaw rushed for 558 yards last season.
Fifth-year starter Dylan Thompson simply won't be running the same kind of zone-read attack, partly because South Carolina doesn't have an experienced backup quarterback and mostly because Thompson (66 yards on 55 career carries) isn't a hybrid vehicle.
No worries. Running back Mike Davis is capable of a Heisman Trophy run as a junior and the plan is to give a second ballcarrier plenty of work.
"Except for (Minnesota Vikings star) Adrian Peterson, you don't see many teams in college or the NFL try to get by with just one guy getting all the carries," said running backs coach Everette Sands, a former Citadel player and assistant coach.
The Gamecocks have Brandon Wilds and Shon Carson. Another candidate for that No. 2 spot is redshirt freshman David Williams, a 6-1, 214-pound Philadelphia native who turned down Ohio State, Auburn and Miami, among others. Williams is the Gamecocks' fastest running back (4.3 40).
"He's going to be good," Sands said. "He can run and he can catch. The only thing we haven't seen yet - and it's hard to tell until he plays in games - is the blocking."
Five weeks before the season opener against Texas A&M, the relatively unknown David Williams is just one of many talented reasons why the current Gamecocks are capable of moving on from the losses of Shaw, Clowney and Ellington.
And moving up.

Will Allah accept the prayer and good deeds of a person who is continually committing sin such as fornification eventhough in his/her heart the person is aware that he/she is sinning and is full of guilt and tries his/her very best not to continue committing such sin. Except for this weakness this person tries to be a good muslim e.g. never misses daily prayers, giving out time and money towards the cause of Allah, never take alcohol or other un-halal foods etc.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, Allaah will accept whatever righteous deeds he does, such as praying, fasting, giving charity etc., and He will also accept his repentance, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): "And He it is Who accepts repentance from His slaves, and forgives sins, and He knows what you do." [al-Shooraa 42:25]. But there is the condition that his repentance must be sincere. Does this person truly regret what he has done? Is he indeed determined not to repeat the sin? Has he, I wonder, gotten rid of everything that may lead him to sin, such as relationships, addresses, telephone numbers, going to evil places, bad friends, movies, pictures and so on? What we believe is that if this person truly repents, he will give up this sin.
Zina is one of the worst kinds of immoral deeds. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a faahishah [i.e., anything that transgresses its limits, a great sin], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allaah forgives him)." [al-Isra' 17:32].
Married people who commit zina (adultery) are to be punished with the worst and most severe form of punishment, which is to be stoned to death, so that every part of their bodies may feel pain just as they felt pleasure in a haraam manner even though they were not without a halaal source of pleasure (i.e., within marriage). Unmarried people who commit zinaa, and had never been married before, are to be given the maximum number of lashes prescribed in sharee'ah, which is one hundred lashes. In addition, they are subjected to the humiliation of having their punishment witnessed by a group of believers, and are to be banished for one full year from their city, the place where they committed the crime.
The punishment for those who are guilty of zinaa in Barzakh (i.e., after death and before the Day of Resurrection) is that they will be in an oven, the top of which is narrow and the bottom of which is wide. A fire will be lit under it, and they will be naked in (that oven). When the fire is lit, they will scream and rise up until they almost come out of the oven, then when the fire subsides, they will go back down into it. This is what will keep happening to them until the Hour begins. So how will their punishment be in the Fire of Hell itself?
We ask Allaah not to despise us and to accept our repentance; we ask Him to help us to do good and to avoid evil, for He is the All-Hearing, Ever-Near.
